Today North Dakota joins Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho (residents only), Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming as an unrestricted, Constitutional Carry state.



From The Hill:

'South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Thursday signed a law allowing residents to carry concealed handguns without a permit.

Noem, who just entered office earlier this month, signed the bill repealing the permit requirement that was passed by the state legislature, The Argus Leader reported.

She said she was “proud” that it was the first bill she signed as South Dakota governor.

“It's special for me to be signing a bill into law that protects our Second Amendment rights," Noem said.'

Wednesday the South Dakota governor tweeted:



From Gun Rights Watch:

'Tise is a massive win for conservatives who have long supported the plan, which needlessly languished under former Republican Gov. Daugaard. Gov. Noem was elected most notably for her stance on Constitutional Carry.

The bill eliminates any burdensome ordinances and regulations for responsible gun owners and recognizes their Second Amendment rights, according to the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.

USCCA President Tim Schmidt is quoted in a recent statement saying, "Constitutional carry reforms that honor the intentions of our country's most important document are a signal of a movement that citizens of the United States want a return to the basic freedoms guaranteed to them, without government interference."'

Gun Owners of America tweeted:




"The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights is my concealed weapons permit. Period." -Ted Nugent


Ted Nugent and I don't agree about everything, but he sums up my views and feelings about Constitutional Carry perfectly:

Tax Bill Is Beginning of Formal Debt Criminalization

The noose is tightening on liberty. The United States Congress is steadily headed to a place where those who owe money to the US government shall be treated criminally. This phenomenon is advancing domestically and now, increasingly, internationally. The first shot in this latest campaign took place in 2010 when US President Barack Obama signed into law The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. It demanded, basically, that foreign banks withhold up to 30 percent of the income that an American abroad might earn. This bill isn't working so well because overseas banks are not cooperating (a state of affairs that was certainly expected). Thus, there is a need for something else: Senate Bill 1813, recently introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA). This bill, in part, states that taxpayers with unpaid taxes over US$50,000 may find their passports confiscated. This isn't criminal per se, but the IRS has recently made noises about "sharing" information with police a...

How To Cripple The Real Estate Market In Five Easy Steps

If the government and the banks had just allowed real estate prices drop to market equilibrium, we'd be out of this mess and housing would truly be affordable. But the government is determined to artificially prop up housing prices, whatever the cost to the economy. If you were head of Central Planning (howdy, Ben!) and were tasked with crippling the real estate market, here's what you would recommend. Choke the market and banking sector with zombie banks... Have the central bank (the Federal Reserve) buy up $1 trillion in toxic, impaired mortgages... Lower the rate that banks can borrow from the Fed to zero, and then pay the banks interest on all funds deposited at the Fed... Try to prop up the housing market by giving poor credit risk buyers loans with only 3% down... Load young people up with the equivalent of a mortgage in student loans... OK,let's see how our Organs of Central Planning are doing: check, check, check, check, check: a perfect score! they're...
